TECHPERT Process Industrieshas has technical expertise in process and mechanical design of various Steam Distillation systems which are batch type. Our capacities range from 200 kg to 1000 kg loading in single batch. If more capacity is required, then one has to add more charging vessels. Steam distillation is carried out by passing dry steam through the plant material whereby the steam volatile compounds are volatilized, condensed and collected in receivers. Steam distillation has been in use for essential oil extraction for Geranium, Turmeric, Curcumin, Ginger and many others. Hydro-steam distillation is carried out when the perfumery plant material is susceptible to direct steam. In this technique the plant material is supported on a screen or a perforated grid placed at some distance above the bottom of the still. Distillation is carried out with low pressure steam which replaces the volatile compounds from the intact plant material.
